majority opinion in the group or side you chose and trying harder next time.
You walk away after losing so suck it with your false platitudes.
You quit when you don't get your way.
You use your candidates losing as a chance to quit because you're a selfish sore loser.
Like a baby child who doesn't get their way.
Your straw man is your principles because you're a dilettante who can't lose and take it like a grown-up.
I started out this primary supporting Bernie but it's attitudes like yours that have really soured me on the movement.
Through the good times and bad I've fought for this party for 36 fucking years and pretend Democrats with a Holier than Thou attitude about politics, like you, will kill the party and country along with it.
Which might be your plan all along newb.
